Montana, 1834. In the middle of the night, a camp of mountain men and native Delaware scouts bustles with activity. One of their own, a trapper known only to posterity as “Mr. Howell”, has been killed by the mighty rulers of this land, the Blackfoot.

Now, these men are intent on exacting their vengeance in the name of their slain comrade.

Leading them is a tall, lean man of 32-years-old, who is perhaps the most well-known mountain man on the continent: Jim Bridger.

Bridger has a long, bloody history with the Blackfoot, and as leader of this fur trapping company, he now heads the attack soon to be made against the Blackfoot.

The contingent of men heads into the darkness, lead by their Delaware scouts. But when they arrive to the Blackfoot camp, they find their enemy already alerted to their presence, and ensconced in a thicket near a river.

The fight that follows, with the mountain men and Delaware warriors attacking the Blackfoot, will go down as the stuff of frontier legend.
